[Mi...] Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Happy Thurs all... I have a DK 0.5 stepped probe (626123-5444-018) that I need to calibrate. But as I thought when I ordered it that it would shanks out on my 15mm ref sphere. Is there a way to set limits etc.. so that it will not shank? OR would I be better off ordering a 8mm ref sphere and change it out for these probes? Never had to use a probe this small lol lucky me I guess. Any help is appreciated Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/27824-ref-sphere/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Only for passive calibration is working angle range coverage. Or you would need smaller sphere. I think i'll have soon DK8 sphere and 0.8mm probe.

[Ri...] Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago You will need an 8mm to qualify this on an XXT. If you are using this on an active head, you can change the sphere coverage.

[Mi...] Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago Yeah I am on a Prismo Navigator here. Looking at a 8mm sphere now. I have no idea how to change "working angle" as I have never had to do that. Guess i can rutt around and see where it can be changed... lol Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/27824-ref-sphere/#findComment-157950 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are performing a Passive Qualification, it will shank on the "death-spirals" which will build incorrect bending parameters.

[Mi...] Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago Please sign in to view this quote. Yeah I am using Tensor. Guess I need to change the angle and see what works. Gonna be trial and error haha Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/27824-ref-sphere/#findComment-157956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mi...] Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago Changed from 180 to 150 and seems to have help radius and deviation. 1 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/27824-ref-sphere/#findComment-157958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I think 135ish is the limit of max reduction. I would personally only use this as a temporary workaround, and purchase a smaller reference sphere for permanent.

[Mi...] Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago Agree Richard. The sphere I have now is at 135 and 135. One of the probes will not qualify due it being at 30 degree. Im going to get a straight shaft probe as I do not know if I can rotate this one without throwing everything off. Going down roads ive never been!!!
